The Last Cut Is the Deepest

by Steven Kent

“RFK Jr once cut the penis off ‘road-killed raccoon’ in New York, new book reveals”
The Guardian

It died, a gobbet
By the curve
(Lorena Bobbitt,
Please observe).
What prompted Bob
One afternoon
To hack the nob
Off that raccoon?
His mind’s a raging
Freaky void.
Attention: paging
Dr. Freud.
